pattern stamp tool

my pattern stamp tool is all distorted, i think i might have changed the brush so know when ever i make something like a bar line, it just smudges it all, do you guys understand this or is it not clear? help plz

i guess what im saying is, do i have to be on a certain brush for my patterns to work?

doesnt anybody post on this forum or what?

yeah people post on this forum..

I'm not sure I know what the problem is though.

What version of Photoshop are you using? On what platform/OS?

and can you be a little more descriptive?

im using cs2, on windows xp, and the thing im trying to say is. When i use the pattern stamp tool, normally it is just one big image and you "reveal it"
mine is now every little movement i make, it starts over, so it doesnt look at all what it is supposed to look like

Ahhh, ok... I got ya...

Either one of 3 things spring to mind...

1) is "impresionistic" checked at the top of the photoshop window in the options bar?
Yes?... uncheck it
No?... go on to #2

2) is the blend mode set to normal at the top of the photoshop window in the options bar?
No?.... make it so number one <--- Star trek reference :D
Yes?.... go on to # 3

3) The "flow" may not be set high enough at the top of the photoshop window in the options bar.

Let me know whats up...

You can try this:
1 - Select your stamp tool
2 - Click the "Tool preset picker" (1st icon on the left of the option bar)
3 - Click the small right triangle to pop the palette options menu
4 - Choose "Reset tool"

Good luck
